Can't update software on ViX-3.0.343

[MarsArtis]

I've been testing this together with Andy, but we found no cause and hence no solution.
I took his advise to flash the box, and Ohhh mystery: now all is fine.
So my advise to you is to do the same (provided all normal options regarding internet issues have been tried).

regarding the issue I can say that this happens only an always on the same DUO. The second one has never been affected.
Further, it behaves like a time bomb: one day passes and the issue is there. If An update became available in few hours after installation upgrading goes ok.

Hi all.

I have an VU+ Uno and It updated yesterday (20 Oct) to 381
through the green icon button (Menu-Setup- Sotware Update)
with no problems.
Looked in Info, latest Ver (381).

First Version I Uploaded to Uno was (368) and all updates
have loaded with no problems.
28e is as Solid as a rock, last night viewed Warhorse
without a singal glitch or freeze.
Spot On.

I'm happy you'r enjoying your receiver with the ViX image. I would however like to remind you to get in the habit of keeping a set of backups in a safe place just in case. that way if things do go wrong you always have a working setup to fall back on.

The latest image on the server is classed as a stable release, but there is always a risk with any software update of something going wrong. Which is why setup the creation of a automatic settings backup and image backup upon a GUI update on the receiver, so if things do go wrong you can reflash the backup and be back to where you were.

Thanks it updated to 381. Should I select no to unstable again.

Thanks it updated to 381. Should I select no to unstable again.

if you only want to be notified of stable updates then yes select no to unstable updates.

Hi pheonix,

Did as you said.
Saved backup files (ect/enigma2) to
(enigma2 tuxbox and cfg folder) in
local HDD.

the VU+ Uno has a tool
for Backup's its called (VuCC_V0.5).

Why on earth would you want to use that? It's extremely slow, you have (probably) no idea what exactly it backs-up, while good working backup-functionality is embedded in ViX......

[Larry-G]

i agree with rob, there is absolutely no need to use third party apps to create backups when the ViX image has two very powerful backup managers built rite in.

Hi All,

Headsup, OOOps.

Will use Vix Backup manage.

can we go back to topic title, please?

[MarsArtis]

Some more info related to the issue I think.
The DUO became unavailable both to telnet and ftp access.
I have to reboot the box and then I can FTP and telnet into it.

Could your router be flooded?
Reboot it & try again.
If that fails, make a settings back-up, download & then flash the latest version here & restore the settings.
